Omaha Folks Begin
to Be Entertained at the
Theaters as Shown by
JSuccess oj Op.enings
A
TTENDANCE at the Bran
deis on the occasion of
the opening of the season
there is such as to warrant
the conclusion that Om
aha people are ready to be
amused. At any rate, the two com
panies putting in at that house last
week were most cordially welcomed
and their efforts got such approval
as must have convinced anybody of
the desire for laughter. This eve
ning a further' test will be applied,
when our old friends, Abe and Maw-
russ,, resume their bickering at the
Boyd. With their coming all the
local theaters will have gone into
action, and a wide range of choice
be provided for "shoppers." From
agents who have visited Omaha is
gathered the information that NeV
lork producers have their eyes well
on the west this season, having final
ly reached the conclusion' that this
section of the world is really worth
the trouble of cultivating. One of
thefr diffi .ulties is supplied by the
railroad ' administration. Gone are
the days of party rates, special sleep
ers, extra baggage cars, holding
trains, and lot of other privileges
that are now esteemed because they
have vanished. Mr. McAdoos regu
lations, primarily designed to, keep
folks at home, or at least to reduce
the American habit of gadding to the
minimum, apply as forcefully to the
traveling show company as to the
humblest individual. For example,
the A. H. Woods company that is
to open at the Boyd tonight pays
for its tickets to ban Francisco just
what it wou'd cost that number of
people to make the trip if they were.
traveling singly. Omaha is the first
stop from New York, the company
reaching here Saturday morning;
from here the troupe goes to Denver,
then Salt Lake City, and thence to
San Francisco. After leaving there,
tickets will be bought from town to
town and local fare paid, all the way
back to Chicago. It is this phase of
the situation that will govern the
season outside of New York and
Chicago this year.
"Business Before Pleasure," the
Eltinge theater, New York, success,
will be presented at the Boyd theater
tonight for an engagement of one
week. In continuing the episodes in
"Mawruss" Perlmutter in "Business
Before Pleasure" the authors have
transferred them from the cloak and
suit business to the vastly more inter
esting and exciting environment of
the movie business. ' As film
magnates "Abe" and "Mawruss" re
veal their delightful eccentricities,
their thoroughly human raits and
their charming human traits and
and at every contact with their new
and unfamiliar associates. The play
will be presented by a characteristic
A. H. Woods cast, including Jules
Jordan as Potash and Charles Lipson
as Perlmutter, Helen Gill, Murray
Phillips, Richard Barrows, William
McCauley, Lizzie Wilson, Lottie Vern
on,' Doris Ke'ly, Olive Massey, Rita
Howlett, Harry Hammill, Harold
Skinner and others. A special Labor
(lay matinee will be given tomorrow
and the usual Wednesday and Satur
day matinee. Owing to the length
of the production, curtains will be at
2:15 and 8:15 sharp.
,-The second attraction of the season
at the Boyd will be Jack Norworth's
revue, "Odds and Ends." This at
traction will be played for three
nights and Saturday matinee begin
ning Thursday, September 12. It
comes to the Boyd with a record run
of five months at the Garrick theater.
Chicago; Omaha being one of the
first cities to view this unusual
1 musical revue. x
Mr. Norworth's offering is a de
cided departure from the customary
musical revue as it is not a travesty
of New York theatrical successes
but rather a satire on happenings
that are or have been prominent in
the minds of the people with a range
from the New York subway to the
trenches.
In "All for 1 Democracy," atrthe
Orpheum this week, President Wil
son is the centtel figure. He sits in
grave meditation, while at his elbow
appear Grant, Lee, Lincoln, Wash
ington, Lafayette and Joan of Arc.
The attraction is an allegory of the
present day, which emphasizes the
point that the road of justice and
right is always a difficult road to
